snip- Senior Israeli officials including National Security Advisor Ya'akov Amidror and Interior Minister Eli Yishai held what the Algemeiner calls a "secret meeting" with Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the former Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, on Friday. Yosef, in his state-funded role as head of Shas's Council of Torah Sages, is the governing coalition party's spiritual leader, while Yishai is its political chief. -----

Some want the 91-year-old rabbi to support it, others to oppose it. At least one visit, in which the rabbi was briefed on Iran's nuclear program, came at the behest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is battling for support in the cabinet to strike Iran.

We must pray before [the almighty] with all our heart.'
